Default Some pix

Did a couple things to the vette (Rear 305 PS2s, Painted calipers) so I thought I would snap some pix today at the shop. I still need some C6 Z51 rotors to compliment the calipers and lower the rear to compensate for the shorter sidewall.

Im running spacers in the rear (3/8 I think). The rims are OEM C6 18/? 19/10. Its not recommended to go wider than 295 w/ 10" rims but Ive driven the car pretty hard and have not had any issues.
